Version: 99.0.4788.13 installed via repository (not Snap, Flat or Deb etc...)
OS: Kubuntu 23.04. All updates installed.

Opera crashes when screenshots are taken using Ctrl+Shift+5.

Snapshots worked in the previous version of Opera.

Opera One version 100.0.4815.54.

Since the launch of Opera One a few updates ago the Home button has vanished. Can the Opera devs please restore the button.

Without the Home button I am forced to,

1, Click to open the Speed Dial
2, Close the no longer required tab (to the left of Speed Dial), then
3, Go back to my Speed Dial tab and open whichever search engine I want to use.

I set the combined address bar / search bar and the Speed Dial search bar to use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. Sometimes I prefer to use Google Search. My Home page accessed by clicking the Home button took me directly to Google. I imagine others have similar setups or used the Home button to open some page other than a search engine.

Please save out finger joints and tendons from the excess clicks and restore the Home button. It's a health issue.

@tentiuzyou I reported the issue to WP Trac and to the Gutenberg issues tracker on GitHub.

WordPress 6.3.0 had a bug in the editor that prevented people using Gutenberg. Version 6.3.1 fixed that bug. It looks like the bug is might still be present but shows only when Opera One used and then only when a non private window is used (Private windows work fine).

Apparently the bug is not caused by Opera extensions or WordPress plugins. Maybe it is purely down to the way Opera One handles script errors.

The WP issue posts about this are here:

1. GitHub: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53579
2. Trac: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59038

Those two issues were thought to be resolved. I added to them about the conflict with Opera today.

The bug affects the Customizer screen as well.

@KetoKelo I confirm that this does fix the problem. But, the hardware acceleration setting tends to cause browser instability, which is the reason I leave it disabled. I will keep it enabled for now.

For those who are struggling to find the option,

1. Go to opera://settings/system
2. The top item listed there should be the 'Enable hardware acceleration when available' toggle.

Thank you, KetKelo.

Confirming the snapshot crash still happens in Opera after today's update to version 99.0.4788.31.

I have the same problem. The VPN is enabled. The button is missing.

I have tested with a vanilla browser install to confirm this is not a plugin or theme error. The computer has been restarted into a new session.

The update today to version 71.0.3770.148 has left the browser in a sorry state. I can browse the web but I'm not able to click 'Menu' (nothing happens) or use the mouse' right-click button to open the context menu. Shortcuts work and I can access settings through the browser address bar i.e. by entering the local URL of various Opera settings pages.

I can drag pages to the bookmarks bar but dragging a page over a folder in the bookmarks bar does not trigger the folder to open to allow the page to be stored in bookmark bar folders.

The Opera Forums login button does not operate when clicked. I had to select the password field and press Return/Enter to trigger the sign in form to post.

This all suggests a Javascript or jQuery conflict caused by the browser UI.

My OS is Kubuntu 19.10 with Plasma 5.18.3.

Opera worked fine until today's update. Google Chrome (also up to date) does not have this problem.

Confirming this bug appears to be quashed in Opera (stable) 99.0.4788.47.

Thank you.

I have the same problem on a Galaxy Tab. The VPN has not connected for a few days. I thought it might be caused by my forwarding the device date and time to speed up games but with the time set correctly, after multiple device restarts and enabling/disabling VPN the tablet is still unable to connect to Opera VPN.

@tori-ko Clear your browser cache (cookies and site settings, mainly) and make sure you have fully signed out of Opera Synch then restart your browser before signing in to Opera Synch again.

Signing out then in again worked for me.

Nope, this is still an issue in Opera 68.0.3618.173. There is a workaround that uses a Window Rule to force the title bar to display. It's not perfect but it helps.

I'm in the UK. Reading the forums it looks like a good number of people are experiencing the same problem.

I'm experiencing several issues with OperaSynch. To add to the 'Signed Out' issue, we have:

1. OperaSynch is disconnected after initial launch of Opera One,
2. Other Speed Dials are not accessible,
3. The Home button is missing from the toolbar.

Re item 1, I was able to solve OperaSynch disconnection by signing out, restarting the browser and signing back in again. I speculate that clearing the browser cache would work too.

I can see my other speed dials in my Opera Synch account but it is inaccessible from the browser menu. There is no menu option for it. Hopefully Opera's plan is to add tabs to the Speed Dial page so that we can quickly switch between Speed Dials. In the meantime I would like the other speed dials to be accessible from the menu.

I just updated to 20.10 to see whether the issue is caused by outdated system libraries. But no, the problem still exists.

The issue is not present in Opera Beta.

@leocg Ah, yes, exactly our point: it is an Opera issue not a device issue nor necessarily an ISP issue (except maybe in Iran) but an issue local to certain regions. When you said localised we assumed you meant local to our devices and not local to our regions.

Thanks leocg. I hope Opera is able to resolve this one soon. As browsers go, Opera is my favourite for desktop and mobile/tablet.

Do Opera Mobile and Opera Desktop use different VPN servers?

Can confirm. The WordPress editor screen crashes when logged into a WordPress website with the default Opera browser window but does not crash when using incognito mode. Issue exists when after full browser cache wipe and all browser extensions disabled.

I am using Opera One version 102.0.4880.40 on Linux.

Is there a difference in the way Incognito Mode and non Incognito Mode windows handle jQuery and jQuery errors?

This is the same issue as described in Portuguese by @edsonmartim here at https://forums.opera.com/topic/43538/open-algumas-funções-do-navegador-opera-versão-71-stable-não-funcionam before a Mod rudely told him to 'Use English here' then closed the thread. A little xenophobic, if you ask me.

At the bottom of the post @edsonmartim wrote "[Obviously, this post] is in PT_BR, because the mouse is not working in Opera, as well as the copy and paste function of the keyboard and I was not able to translate the text."

Someone needs to hang their head in shame.

@nawkrzy Use a Private browsing session to edit our website. This is how the rest of us are muddling through this bug.

In case other web developers arrive here in search of an answer to localhost invalid SSL certs causing Opera to require re-login after browser restart, the solution is to visit opera://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost to enable the Allow Insecure Loclhost setting then relaunch the browser.

@hsikorski Thank you so much. I will test this update over the weekend. Hopefully the issue is resolved.

Can you and the Opera dev team do me a favour and add a comment to the Gutenberg GitHub issue tracker about this bug just to let the Gutenberg developers know a few of the technical reasons for the bug. It may help the Gutenberg devs to locate bugs and oversights in Gutenberg, and prevent a code reversion that could bring bugs back.

The GitHub issue tracker is here https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/53579
